Wdp,

From what is posted on this thread is only what Oleg and I have discussed regarding this matter........  I hope he can work something out as we are 2 with the similar problem....

I know you can place a password to get out of the Windows Screen Saver... have you tried that yet?  The only problem is that, the screen saver is only activated through idle time and can't be manually activated unless you go through the Display Properties....  unless you create a hotkey that will activate the screen saver... but that's more work..... 

I'm pretty happy with this Matrix Locking app....  the actual screen saver portion is a little bit unprofessional though.....

I agree it doesn't look too professional but I just turn off my monitor on my way out the door anyway...:)

I have not tried the Windows Screen Saver yet.  In my past XP experience the password is the login/password for the user?  And doesn't that "lock" the computer so that RoboTask can't get around it?

If you want to use your task in locked (or logged-off) computer you must avoid any interactive actions. "

Hey zkhoja,

I tried that screensaver, but still seem to have issues with the keyboard commands when it is active (i.e. Alt+F command doesn't work consistently)

Anybody have any ideas how to secure this thing?

Kdizonline -

I have been running a tsk early in the morning each day for several months and haven't had any major problems regarding keyboard commands.  I just let it run and then begin the tsk by using the "click left mouse button" command.  I then enter in the password with keystrokes, hit enter and I'm back in.

Does that help?
